FORD TECH STORIES

The surprising sides to Ford and their ways of thinking.

FORD RECYCLING PROGRAMME

From tomato skins and seeds through to Cola bottles and even old money that’s out of circulation Ford recycle as much as they can. It helps them replace petroleum-based plastics in the manufacture of bumpers, seat foam and interior parts like cup holders

INFLATABLE SEATBELTS

These safety features make great talking points as they provide five times more crash force protection, with increased support to the head, neck and chest areas. They’re also more comfortable to wear than traditional seatbelts

ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL

Microphones in the vehicle cabin detect unwanted noise (from the engine, wind and road) then create sound waves that cancel the unwanted noises out. The result is a quieter, more relaxed driving environment.

This tiny panoramic camera on a vehicle’s front relays a split-screen image to the Multi-Function Display letting the driver see vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians coming from either side. It’s invaluable when edging out of a narrow parking space or on to a busy road where the view is obstructed.
